It has been cloudy for several weeks over Manila but last night, the heavens cleared so I set up my birding gear to have a go at Jupiter...:mrgreen:

Is it a lens or a telescope? :D

Excellent, Romy.

I've seen telescopes that cannot present that image quality. Very nice!

Admittedly, I know very little about night photography, but out of curiosity, why boost the ISO up so high? Do you find that a longer exposure allows too much light for these types of shots?

If you can't track the celestial bodies as the sensor is exposed, they'll be blurred. Rather, you boost the ISO and get a shorter exposure.

At 4525 mm, I found that 1/30 sec was the slowest I could go to "freeze" Jupiter. At f/51, I needed ISO 1600 for proper exposure...;)

Wow! Very nice!

How about tracking down the space station? ;)

Right now, I doubt anyone can track down the space station computers. You pay $100 Billion for something and look what happens. Sad, isn't it?
